GE blocks the TOPS of all the gov't buildings in DC, blocking anything that may or may not be there (get creative with those conspiracies now...)
I love GE. The details of where I used to live in California are stunning.... you can see the damage from the fires that took out my old neighbors houses.
The details of my parents home is Illinois is enough to see my dad out mowing the grass....
THe details of where I live.... It's still a cotton field. Picture is at least 3 years old.
I love the detail that we can get.... being able to see waves on lakes and such. For fun, zoom in on the St Louis airport.... there is HALF A PLANE on the tarmac. There are discussion groups based solely on GE that have all kinds of pointers and files available to down load and look at.
Some of the one's I've downloaded include:
-Where the Titanic sank (can't see it, duh)
-St Peter's Basillica
-3D models of St Louis (including the Arch)
-3D models of the Golden Gate Brige and Alcatraz
-Pointers for Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore
-Military objects of interest
-USS Constitution
-USS Boston
-USN Shipyards in California, Boston and elsewhere
-3D Models of Chicago
And the list goes on.
I get a kick out of the areas that go from green (spring/summer) to brown (fall) and white (winter) in the equivalent of a mile or so...
If you have a GPS device with computer connection, you can upgrade to the next level of the program and actually track your movements on the terrain.
Really cool program. Since you can pinpoint the towns you live in, I thought about posting my pinpoint....
